The King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters (2007)

Director: Seth Gordan (I've never seen anything else he's done but he's doing Four Christmases so I'm skeptical on his staying power)
Stars: Steve Wiebe (not an actor)
Billy Mitchell (not an actor, Perfect Pac-man Score)
YesNoSoso: 2

Jesus Tap Dancing Christ this movie was good. It follows impossibly nice, recently laid off Steve Wiebe as he tries to break cocky asshole Billy Mitchell's World Record on Donkey Kong. I spent the entire two hours unsuccessfully trying to figure whether King of Kong was a real Documentary or a Mockumentary in the style of Spinal Tap or Best in Show. Its real folks and even knowing that, the people, and the actions they take in this movie, will still lead you to question its legitimacy. See this movie immediatley.
